“These essays arrive right on time, and with no apparent expiration date. Moon-Kie Jung and JoÃo H. Costa Vargas have assembled a collection that forcefully  unravels, analyzes, and exposes how slavery and global antiblackness structure and produce meaning in the modern world. The essays theorize, analyze, and provide us field notes for understanding how and why antiblackness does not just underwrite the modern world but actively produces it in multiple modalities. After encountering these essays, any analysis that does not contend with antiblackness as central to modern life is an analysis blind to what exactly the modern means.” - Rinaldo Walcott, author of (The Long Emancipation: Moving toward Black Freedom) “Moon-Kie Jung and JoÃo H. Costa Vargas have assembled an impressive cross section of thinkers who write from a host of methodological and philosophical positions and approaches and who work toward a necessary language to situate antiblackness in and beyond Black studies. The need for this project could not be more urgent.” - Shana L. Redmond, author of (Everything Man: The Form and Function of Paul Robeson) "This book could be used in courses on Black studies, sociology, history, political science, and social justice studies. Alongside the text, which is incredibly relevant to the current sociopolitical moment, instructors might also have students view the film 13th (2016), which resonates most strongly with the theme of intentionally scaffolded racial injustice in the American criminal justice system in part 3 of Antiblackness. Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals." - C. L. Lalonde (Choice) “Every educator, scholar, and researcher of antiblack violence and racism is encouraged to engage with <i>Antiblackness</i>. . . . Recognizing the framework of antiblackness can heighten awareness in understanding how the afterlife of global enslavement functions in our interconnected realities every single day.” - Tiffany N. Peacock (Transforming Anthropology) <p>“[<i>Antiblackness</i>] is an important tool that will allow readers to articulate the travesties done to Black people all over the world and combat the narrative that race has nothing to do with how our world has been structured. . . . Knowledge is power and this book will certainly educate anyone who is interested in portions of history that are often untold in the media and in educational institutions.”</p> - Jordannah Elizabeth (Amsterdam News) “<i>Antiblackness</i> . . . is highly recommended to students of African Studies, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Political Science. . . . Significantly, the book will be useful to teach students in high schools and universities to understand the long history of Anti-Blackness and how to combat such problems in our societies.” - Kofi Johnson (International Social Science Review)
